Stupid and dangerous.
He’s itching to use them. He said so during the campaign. There’s nothing in him that would tell him no, mustn’t do that. He wants to, so he will.
It’s worse:

So either Trump is responding to Putin by escalating rather than trying to push for adherence to agreements, or they’re just both in cahoots, looking to co-ordinate efforts.
And that it should come to this in Vera Lynn’s lifetime…
Don’t we have enough nuclear weapons to annihilate the world a hundred times over? So he’s saying we need MORE until the world “comes to it’s senses?”
The number of nuclear weapons was considerably reduced in the 1990s

Jim, that’s all well and good but until they’re reduced to zero nuclear weapons the point is largely academic. It matters not if they have enough to destroy us all a hundred times over or a thousand; once will be enough, don’t you think?
Strange days, indeed. The Time has a whole article trying to decipher what the fuck he means.
Actually, the United States must thoroughly lock down its nuclear capability until such time as the Donald comes to his senses regarding nukes.
